A Village Transformed by Community

Everywhere you look around Emory Village you'll see the results of EVA's hard work. From replacing an awkward five-way stoplight intersection with the central roundabout to creating the sculpture fountain and plaza and planting more than 50 trees, EVA has helped transform the Village into our community's front porch.

As a 100% donor-funded volunteer organization, EVA brings neighbors, businesses, institutions, and government partners together to keep the Village clean, vibrant, and welcoming. Our work includes advancing greenspace and creek projects, guiding Village planning and development, organizing community events, securing project funding, and supporting Village landscaping.
